In reality, I could see it being the Jets (if Ryan keeps his job), Arizona, or Buffalo. The darkhorse could be Cleveland, they need a young quarterback to groom behind Weeden.

Was he doing that bad on the field? I know this was supposedly the result of some 'incident'.

The incident was to do with threatining one of his "friends" and firing a gun right beside his ear causing hearing loss. I don't think he got convicted of anything though.

As for his play I haven't seen enough Raiders games to make a true judgement, however I have seen him described as a poor man's Brandon Spikes. He is mediocre in the passing game and ok in the run game. Probably a guy who will get picked up and become a starter but not a top level starter, and certainly not someone who has shown he was deserving of such a high pick

So how many yards does Alfred Alonzo Jenkins get this weekend? 100? 150? 200? More? The pessimist in me says he will only get like 150 and a couple of touchdowns but the realist says over 200 and three or more touchdowns

it wouldn't have mattered who the raiders had picked over the last ten years. their coaching and other front office decision making have been horrific. no amount of talent could've saved that team.

Rodgers probably would have been thrust in and considered a bust, even throwing to Larry.

But really, comparisons like that are fun to look at, but with the way team needs fall, it's not all that relevant. Plus, they took several "safe" guys in there too like Gallery and McClain who no one would have guessed that they'd bust. Gallery proved serviceable after moving to guard, but you don't take mediocre guards that high. And I think McClain still could prove decent if he ends up in the right situation. (A 3-4 team who can mask his weaknesses.)

True, and it is sad how bad you can be at 1st round picks for so long. Funny thing is I see a bunch of physical tools out of those guys, so while the 40 yard dash joke probably got old it's obvious that is what drove a bunch of their picks.

But playing the hindsight game it is fun to think about Rodgers throwing to Fitzgerald, even if none of the other picks would have happened that alone would have been fun to see.

Gallery was even kinda beastly at guard for a couple of years, and then he started getting hurt. There was once a time where I wanted him over Eli. Past me was such an idiot sometimes.

This was from sport center this morning. The raiders picks since 2004 and the picks right after them. Imagine Rodgers with Megatron and Fitz as his wideouts...Sprinkle in a little Spiller with DMC...

The Raiders actually traded ahead of the Packers in order to draft Fabian Washington. I remember watching that draft and thinking that they *MUST HAVE* moved up for Rodgers, knowing that he wouldn't get past both Green Bay and Washington.

That Al Davis...I'll miss his whacky draft-day moves!

Can you imagine that offense? Aaron Rodgers tossing the ball to Megatron and Fitz while Spiller carries out of the backfield.

Per Birkett, Young purposely lined up in the wrong place on the field “multiple times” during the Lions’ Week Eleven loss to Green Bay. He also “mouthed off” to receivers coach Shawn Jefferson before being benched for the final possession. Apparently upset that he wasn’t getting enough passes thrown his way, Young responded by attempting to sabotage the Lions’ passing offense.

I don't care how much potential a guy has but how can you keep a dick like this on your roster? How can you get your players to go to war with this guy when he has deliberately tried to ruin your offensive gameplan? I think this is another black mark against Schwartz the head coach because in quite a few other orgainsations he would be out on his ass by now
